Lisa was born and raised in New York. After severely injuring her back in 1994, and having doctors tell her she needed surgery, she was introduced to the world of Pilates. Determined to avoid surgery at all costs, Lisa began a rigorous training regimen at a Pilates studio and she was hooked for life.

It was not until she met her husband who gave her the courage to give up a great but stressful career in video production, that she decided to make her passion for Pilates a reality. After twelve years in the video business, she would earn her certification. With a year-and-a-half of training at the Kane School of Core Integration in Manhattan, Lisa opened up the Curve Appeal Pilates Studio in Bay Ridge. The change in career has given her a new lease on life knowing that at the end of the day, she has helped her clients feel good about themselves and has taught them the importance of the connection between the mind, body and spirit.
